New Perspectives & Visions

Artists-In-Residence and Guest Artists play a vital role in the creative life of the department. They work directly with students as mentors and collaborators in the creative process.

The Guest Artist program offers students in both theatre and dance the opportunity to study, observe, and work with professional artists-in-residence. The Department engages numerous guest artists each year as actors, directors, composers, choreographers, and designers.

Nationally respected choreographer Danny Buraczeski and his company Jazz Dance

Internationally acclaimed modern choreographers David Dorfman and Doug Varone

Vocalist Marni Nixon

America's premiere professional chorus, The Philadelphia Singers

The Baker Artist-in-Residence Program

The Baker Artist-in-Residence Program brings distinguished professional guest artists to the Muhlenberg campus each year. Artists remain on campus for periods ranging from one month to an entire semester, and each resident artist teaches in the academic program and contributes to the artistic programs in theatre, dance, and music. Baker Artists-in-Residence are sponsored by the Dexter F. and Dorothy H. Baker Foundation.
